Perko 493 Series Strainer Basket, For 493-DP6 1 in NPT Raw Water Strainer, 304 Stainless Steel

Overview

The Perko 049300699D is a replacement basket for Perko Fig. 0493 Series #6 intake water strainers. It fits the 1 inch NPT strainer size and measures about 2-5/8 inches in outside diameter by 5-7/8 inches high, so it is meant for the matching housing rather than as a universal basket.

On boats using a raw-water cooling circuit, this is the internal basket that catches weeds, shell fragments, and other debris before water reaches downstream equipment. It suits existing 0493 #6 strainer assemblies where the basket needs to be renewed without replacing the bronze body, clear cylinder, cover, or gasket set.

Key features

• Replacement basket for Perko Fig. 0493 Series #6 intake water strainers
• Fits the 1 inch NPT strainer size used in the #6 housing
• Approximate basket size is 2-5/8 inches outside diameter by 5-7/8 inches high
• Supplied as the basket only, without the housing, cover, cylinder, gaskets, or tie-rod hardware
• Made for routine service on raw-water intake systems where the basket is removed and cleaned through the top of the strainer body

Compatibility and fit

This part is for boats already equipped with the matching Perko 0493 #6 strainer assembly. In practice that usually means a raw-water intake on an engine, generator, air conditioning pump, or similar circuit that uses the 1 inch size. Checking the strainer model and size on the existing assembly matters because other 0493 sizes use different basket dimensions.

Installation and service

The basket drops into the strainer body and is removed from the top for cleaning. The complete strainer assembly should be mounted vertically with enough clearance above it to lift the basket out, which makes routine inspection much easier in tight engine-room or machinery-space installations.

This is a practical replacement for owners who have a bent, clogged, or worn basket but can still keep the rest of the strainer in service. If the cylinder, cover gasket, or tie-rod hardware also show age, those parts should be checked separately since this part does not include them.
